Beginning Anew

He sat in the dark room, waiting, he nearly dozed off into sleep a couple of times until he finally heard the familiar rumbling of keys and the soft squeek of the door. Took her long enough he thought, she entered the room as quietly as she could before he hit the lightswitch and the entire room was lit. "EEEEECK!" Korra yelped, flailing her arms around like a madman. It amused him to see Korra's expression change from extremely startled to annoyed in the blink of an eye, it was obvious she was drunk.

"Had a fun evening?" He started with a grin. Her face turned red with both anger and shame "What's it to you, Mako?" She spat back, her words slurring, which got him laughing. It was hilarious to him how she tried to stay upright and composed and failed horribly because of a few too many wines. "Relax," he started "I'm just curious about how your date went.. ''

She let out a sigh, rolling her eyes ''I'll tell tomorrow, m'kay ? All I want now is to lay in bed and sleep." She was already on her way to her room and he decided not to press the issue further and went to his own room. After he got in bed he heard Korra stumbling and swearing in the room adjacent to him, he smirked to himself, tomorrow was sure to be interesting..

Good Morning!

When he woke and came out of his room Korra was already sitting at the table, bent over a cup of coffee and her index fingers rubbing her temples. "Good morning Sunshine!" He said in an overly happy voice, smirking at her.

She groaned at him, her head dipping lower "I'm NEVER drinking again.." "That's what you said the last fifteen times you were hung over.."

Korra and Mako had been living together as roommates for a couple of months now and he had gotten used to her late night escapades.

"So I spoke with Asami yesterday" he began, earning another grunt from the annoyed Avatar, all she wanted was to lay in bed and have him shut up and he knew it "She said she had something interesting to show us."

Korra raised her head to face him, gazing through half-lidded eyes, she made a circling motion to her face with her index finger "See this? Does this look like it's excited to go anywhere but to bed?" He gave her a half-smirk "Well that's too bad because you're coming with whether you like it or not." With that he took hold of her wrist and pulled her along towards the door, she didn't even bother to struggle, she knew she wouldn't win a fight in this condition. He flew the door open and they made their way down the hall, and down the stairs, they lived in a small appartment on the third floor in one of Republic City's many skyscrapers.

Finally after what felt like an eternity to Korra they reached ground level and her head was thrumming, Mako sped up to the front door and swung it open, the light stung at her eyes and the city's noises were like an assault to her ears.

"I hate you Mako" She groaned, he started to chuckle "You love me, really." He retorded.
Her eyes shot open at his words "I do not!" she replied a little too quickly

"And wipe that smug smirk of your face before I punch it off!" That only got him laughing more vigorously.

"Chill Korra, I'm just teasing, I know the two of us are through.." He rolled his eyes at her but he immediatly regretted what he just said. After all, he still held some feelings for her ever since they had dated. "Yes we are, and get that through your thick skull before you end up hurt." She gave him a stern look fitting the statement.

Mako rubbed the back of his neck, slightly shamed and he cursed himself for his words. "So.." He cleared his throat "we have to pick up Bolin before we head to Asami." She nodded in silence, he could still read the anger on her face, but couldn't help but notice at how good she looked when she was angry and he stared at her a little too long. She snapped her fingers "What the heck are you looking at you fire-.. Fire-.." She tried to form an insult but her head was too tired fort his, instead she just threw her hands in the air as an intimidating gesture and started walking towards Bolin's place. He watched her walk, biting his lip at seeing her hips sway and shook his head to get the image out before moving to catch up to her.

After a few blocks they reached Bolin's place, he had a penthouse in one of the most luxurious skyscrapers, which would be expected of the famous actor who played the role of Nuktuk, Hero of the South.

The walk towards here had been relatively quiet, due to both Korra's foul mood and Mako's fear of being punched.

Together Korra and Mako entered the skyscraper and got into the elevator, the waiting music that played did nothing to lighten Korra's mood. They reached the top floor and walked the hall towards the door and Mako knocked, almost instantly the door flung open and Mako was embraced by Bolin "BROTHER!" Bolin gave his brother a bear hug and Pabu moved to climb onto Korra and roll itself around her neck, she couldn't help but giggle a little at the fuzzy critter, and gave it's soft fur a few strokes.

Before she could react Bolin hugged her tightly and squeezed the air out of her "How's my favorite Avatar doing today?" His infectious grin got her going too "A little better now, though I could use some air.." He released her from his vice hug and she giggled "Good to see you Bolin, how's life?" She asked. "Oh you know, the usual, doing Nuktuk movers, being famous, getting rich and the ladies are throwing themselves at me.." he was smirking from ear to ear talking about his succes.

Mako rolled his eyes at his brother, so much for modesty. "Right, we're heading to Asami, she said she had something to show us and she sounded thrilled, let's not waste our time." Bolin and Korra nodded at Mako and the trio took the elevator down.

The Surprise

Before them was the impressive front porch of the Sato Estate, Asami's home. The place was huge and had everything someone as rich as Asami could want.

They rang the bell and waited for one of Asami's many servants to open the door. Once the door opened they were recognized and allowed in, the servant led them to a few halls before stopping in front of a large door "Miss Sato is waiting inside." With that he turned and left.

The trio shrugged at each other for a moment before Bolin opened the door, and they were met with Asami's excited yelp. "Mako, Bolin, Korra!" Asami ran over and hugged the three of them. "So nice to see all of you again, it's been too long!" The three voiced their agreement and Asami led them to sit on the couch.

She didn't waste any time and got to what was on the minds of her friends "You're probably all wondering why I asked you to come," she started, the excitement on her face got the others smiling.

"I have a surprise" she moved her right hand into her pocket and got out four tickets of various shapes and sizes. "We've all been single for far too long, and I have arranged dates for all of us at various interesting locations!"
